Throughout 2018, we chronicled the rise of food robots and the fundamental ways they are changing how we eat. From the farm, to automated restaurants to doorstep delivery, robots are on the rise and 2019 is poised to be a watershed year for them. Which is why we are excited to announce Articulate, a one-day conference devoted to food robots and automation, happening on April 16, 2019 in San Francisco at the General Assembly event space in San Francisco.

One thing we’ve learned from four years of holding Smart Kitchen Summit is that bringing a community of decision makers together really drives discussion, insight and even innovation. At Articulate, we’ll be discussing broad themes such as:

What will be the impact of robotics on front and back of house in restaurants?

How robots will transform last mile delivery?

How will state and local government regulate robots?

How much automation should go grocers go in on?

The evolution of business and service models in an age of food robotics

The ethics of automation and the impact on labor market

Oh, and you’ll be able to check out some really cool robots up close and in person!

We’ve already lined up a number of great speakers, including:

Vincent Vanhoucke, Principle Scientist, Google Brain team

Linda Pouliot – CEO of Dishcraft

Dave Zito – CEO of Miso Robotics

John Ha – CEO of Bear Robotics

Deepak Sekar – CEO of Chowbotics

Ali Bouzari – Chief of Pilot R&D

And we’ll be announcing more shortly.
